FACULTY RADIOTHERAPY PHYSICIST

Photon Physicist Faculty Position

Emory University School of Medicine is recruiting for a full-time photon physicist faculty position at the Assistant, Associate, or Professor level under the guidance of the Director of Medical Physics.

Emory's Department of Radiation Oncology serves multiple clinical institutions in the Atlanta metropolitan area, including Emory University Hospital Clifton, Winship Cancer Institute at Emory Midtown, Emory Proton Therapy Center, Emory Saint Joseph's Hospital, Grady Hospital, and Emory Decatur Hospital. It is an integral part of Winship, a National Cancer Institute-Designated Comprehensive Cancer Center, and is deeply integrated into multidisciplinary cancer care delivery.

The department treats over 4,000 patients annually. Highlights of the technology offered include 9 Varian linear accelerators, 1 Halcyon unit, 2 Elekta linear accelerators, a multi-room proton center, Gamma Knife, multiple brachytherapy HDR afterloaders, large bore CT scanners with 4D capabilities, and access to MR and PET scanners including two dedicated 1.5 T MRI scanners. All linear accelerators are IGRT (2D, 3D) and respiratory motion management equipped. The oncology information system is ARIA with treatment planning systems including Eclipse and RayStation.

The department has grown in its clinical, teaching, and research activities in the past decade and includes internationally renowned leaders in each of these areas, with many faculty members holding substantial NIH and other grant funding, leading innovative multi center trials, and publishing extensively in the highest impact journals. There are currently more than 70 faculty members in the department's Divisions of Clinical Affairs, Cancer Biology, Medical Physics, and Health Services, Outcomes, and Policy. In addition, there is a fully accredited three-year training program for medical physics residents as well as a four-year training program for radiation oncology residents. Emory physics faculty also participate in Georgia Institute of Technology's medical physics education and research programs. The Medical Physics Division has a successful research program and has multiple investigators federally funded in areas including artificial intelligence and image-guided radiotherapy.

Candidates must have a PhD, or equivalent doctoral degree. Candidates must be ABR board eligible and certification in therapeutic radiological physics is preferred. The candidate is expected to support clinical services, participate in the education of medical physicist residents and medical residents, and conduct clinical and translational research. Applicants who have research interests that significantly contribute to the overall departmental academic effort are strongly encouraged to apply.
